New Roswell International UFO Museum

James Murdock writes, “Have intelligent beings from other planets visited Earth? The International UFO Museum and Research Center, in Roswell, New Mexico, lacks a definitive answer, such as an alien spacecraft—but it does have plenty of intriguing photographs and affidavits from people who say they have seen one. “If visitors walk out of here with more questions than they had when they came in, that’s all we ask,” says executive director Julie Shuster.

Ahearn-Schopfer Associates, a Boston-based firm, is designing a new home for the International UFO Museum and Research Center, in Roswell, New Mexico.

In designing a new home for the institution, Kevin Schopfer, AIA, a principal of Boston-based Ahearn-Schopfer Associates, also sought to arouse curiosity. Although his 18,000-square-foot, one-story building features a rectangular footprint and mostly rectilinear concrete volumes, a warped plane cants from the west elevation and soars nearly 90 feet above the main entry. This surface, which will likely be gel-coated fiberglass, folds over on itself while a funnel-shaped hole connects the top and bottom facets.

“The concept is that this is a found object emerging from a file cabinet, kind of like information hidden in a drawer somewhere,” Schopfer explains, referring to the purported government cover-up of extraterrestrial evidence. “It’s meant to grab your attention and question what it is.”

The funnel represents a wormhole, he continues, which some physicists hypothesize is a shortcut between distant parts of the universe—and that ufologists believe extraterrestrials use to visit Earth. It’s a billboard building that “entices people from the roadway,” Schopfer admits, but it avoids the ubiquitous alien and UFO iconography common in Roswell, an isolated desert town whose name is synonymous with the alleged crash of a flying saucer there in July 1947.

What the museum lacks on its exterior it will contain inside. A large mock-up of a flying disc will hang from the ceiling in the lobby. It’s this “iconic moment” that visitors will remember afterward, hopes Penny Sander, senior associate and project manager at Cambridge Seven Associates, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which is designing the exhibits.

Chances are there will be many visitors. Annual attendance has grown from 3,000, when the museum opened in 1992, to more than 160,000—one reason why it has already moved twice into bigger accommodations. It is now raising $15 million for construction of the new building and hopes to break ground in early 2009; later phases might include a 30- to 40-room boutique hotel.

Schopfer learned that the museum needed a new home while watching a TV program about the Roswell crash. The project allowed him to pursue his interests in architecture and outer space. “UFOs make a great story,” he says, “and the subject matter is really endless.” http://archrecord.construction.com/news/OnTheBoards/0808ufo.asp

Chile Wants to meet a UFO?

San Clemente – When it comes to attracting tourists to a remote region in central Chile, the town of San Clemente is aiming high — playing up its reputed connection to visitors from outer space. The Andean municipality, 240 kilometers south of Santiago, has opened the country’s first UFO trail, a 30-kilometer long stretch that takes in a supposed landing site for flying saucers and optimal lookouts for extraterrestrial craft. “We support the creation of this UFO trail because experts say that it is a ‘hot zone’ for watchers,” the service’s director, Oscar Santelices, told AFP.

However, just in case hordes of foreign tourists of the terrestrial variety turn up expecting to get a close encounter of a first, second, third or — heaven forbid — fourth kind (alien abduction) out of their trip, Sernatur had a bucket of cold water. “In no way can we guarantee that a tourist coming to San Clemente will see a UFO,” it said in its brochure.

The Chilean town has long been an unofficial destination for UFO-watchers in the know, though mainstream curiosity-seekers looking for a bit of interplanetary mystery have been more often drawn to neighbouring Peru to see the Nazca Lines, those centuries-old gigantic representations of animals in a desert which can only be fully appreciated from the air.

UFO researchers say hundreds of UFO sightings have been reported in San Clemente since the mid-1990s. Thanks to AFP

Mexico Ancient Olmec Cone Head Figures

LA VENTA – La Venta is one of the greatest of the Olmec sites built in the tropical lowlands of Mexico that had pyramid shaped structures. The Olmecs Civilization flourished from 1200 BC to 700 BC on the south coast of the Gulf of Mexico coastal plain of southern Veracruz and Tabasco. The area is about 125 miles long and 50 miles wide. At La Venta we can see platform mounds were arranged around large plaza areas and include a new type of architecture, a tall pyramid mound.

Olmec civilization is the parent culture in Mesoamerica from which all other societies sprouted. Olmec means the “rubber people apparently because they played sports with a rubber ball. At San Lorenzo, Tenochtitlan, distinctively Olmec features begin to emerge around 1150 BC. The rise of civilization was assisted by well watered rich alluvial soil, encouraging high maize production. This ecology may be compared to that of other ancient civilizations: Mesopotamia and the Nile River Valley, where the kings and pharaohs are shown with elongated craniums. At its height, this village had a population of less than 1,000 people.

This group of jade carvings was found at La Venta showing the remarkably elongated heads of the early Olmecs. This grouping of jade figures was found intentionally buried at La Venta and the one on the right is made of courser stone perhaps indicating an ethnic difference or a man from space. Some carvings of large heads had faces with more African looking features than the Mayans who followed hundreds of years later.

The sculptures do not look like normal humans (Homo sapiens) they have cone heads that is cranium deformities that are remarkably elongated. The genetic trait distinguishing them was their anomalously-dolichocephalic (dol•i•cho•ce•phal•ic) heads. These huge heads have been explained as deformities, but they do not fit into Darwin’s Theories of Evolution and have therefore been ignored. The Olmec rulers engaged in long distance trade to obtain vast quantities of jade that included these figures. One of the interesting areas was beneath the main plaza of jade bricks that represent and earth jaguar with an open mouth. They created a world axis, making it the symbolic center of the Olmec cosmos. An important feature at the Olmec centers were aqueducts and drainage systems consisting of a buried network of stone drain lines, long U-shaped rectangular blocks of basalt laid end to end and covered with capstones.

The fact that the early leaders of Egypt, Peru, Malta, Samaria, and Mexico all had elongated skulls infers a different race with advanced knowledge and technical skills suddenly appeared at places thousands a miles from each other all around the Earth infers visitors from space.

July UFO Map of sightings

MUFON reported 276 sightings in July while NUFORC reports 454 sightings for a total of 730 sightings. This is an increase over previous months. There were numerous sightings on the East Coast and Midwest. Data provided by Steve Reichmuth (www.UFOResearcher.com) and Peter Davenport (NUFORC).

California Photos

LOS ALAMITOS SHIPYARD — J.A. Watson Fulbright sent me a series of photos taken over the Pacific Ocean showing anomalies that might be explained as UFOs. Judy writes, “These photos were taken in Huntington Harbor a half mile from the shipyard that has a new ship with the latest technology. Some strange objects and 80 to 100 balls of light where filmed. There was also a dark shadow on many of the films. I can’t help but wonder if this new ship can transfer itself to another dimension?” Thanks to Judy Watson Fulbright

Thousand Oaks — We were on a hike August 23, 2008, at 10:45 PM, the Southern end of Moorpark Ave, and half way up the “bench trail.” While looking north, a friend and I noticed a large meteor with a cobalt blue flare, which entered the atmosphere from East to West at about a 130 degree angle, one of the largest flares that I have ever witnessed. It seemed to burn out briefly however reignited at the same intensity, which got our attention since normally you would expect a meteor to burn out. While still approaching the horizon at a fast speed, we’re thinking it’s going to hit the ground, however the blue flare suddenly shifted horizontally west and faded to an faint orange dot. Visibility was great since we were well removed from any city lights. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

Florida – Pinwheel Sighting

Miami Beach — I was 14, out with friends, walking our dogs around the block. We heard a noise, the dogs barked and then went silent, and we looked up to see a giant greenish blue luminescent pinwheel turning in the sky in August 1969. Around 10:00 PM, It whirled and sort of whistled for a couple of minutes. We were stunned speechless. We stood and watched as it appeared to break up into a glowing haze that covered the sky, and then vanished. When my sister returned from a date about a half hour later she described seeing the same thing from Coconut Grove, Miami. We also saw it replayed on the 11 o’clock News.

Georgia - Sightings Report

Tom Sheets, SD MUFONGA writes, On August 9, 2008, about 3:00 PM, an adult resident of Dunwoody was in Norcross and from the vicinity of City Hall observed a black sphere floating slowly under the clouds. He noticed was that the sphere was moving generally west, and the clouds were moving east. When the sun hit the sphere at the proper angle, there was a gleam as if of a metallic nature. The object then hovered, reversed direction and then moved along with the clouds, stopped again and moved back and forth, then seemed to go higher in altitude, getting smaller until vanishing. ASD Ralph Howard has been in contact with the witness and is conducting an inquiry.

ADEL – August 12, 2008, about 10:30 PM, a young adult witness was leaving home on an errand with his Mom and friends and noticed an aerial object of exact unknown shape, but displaying a circular configuration of 6-10 yellow-orange lights flashing sequentially. Object appeared to be under the cloud cover, hovered, then took a straight line path and at one point moved so swiftly, the lights left a streaking blur. Aircraft were observed in the area, as well as some other witnesses hearing jet aircraft, suspected to be from the AFB a few miles south near Valdosta. SSD Jay Jordan of Tifton is conducting an investigation into this matter.

ALBANY – On August 1, 2008, former ASD John Bodin of Wray was contacted by a law enforcement officer who indicated that a few months earlier on night patrol he had encountered, on more than one occasion, a low and slow unknown flying object. The first night he’d observed a light over a treeline adjacent the roadway. Closer scrutiny revealed an oblong dark mass that ‘curved’ down at the rear end. A light appeared to be on the bottom shining downward as the object moved along about 45mph. The officer followed it until it stopped to hover nearby. He put his patrol unit’s spotlight on it for a better look and was further convinced there was absolutely no noise that he could hear. After about 10 seconds, the object turned and flew away very quickly.

The next night one of his associate officers that lived in the area called him and stated he had followed what was apparently the same object described earlier by the primary witness. He had followed it several miles into the adjacent county until he lost sight of it. The primary witness then described his second encounter with the object when it was observed to fly over a state highway and adjacent field. His view was better on that occasion and he observed a ‘cylinder-type’ of ring on the bottom, and noticed the back end seemed to consist of two sections. SSD Jay Jordan was assigned to investigate this matter and has since interviewed the witness and taken a more detailed statement, obtained an object sketch and diagrams of the flight path. This investigation continues. Thanks to Tom Sheets, SD MUFONGA

Illinois - Video

Chicago Jazz Fest — Laying down in the grass around 8:15 PM on August 29, 2008, I was looking up at dusk to see a weird dark purplish-red color in the sky that looks like a plane at moderate speed. I realize that if this was a plane it would be ridiculously high. I was unable to make out a shape and could only see white lights from the bottom. I follow the plane as it moved across the sky for 5 to10 minutes, when I saw another passenger jumbo jet presumably coming from O’hare airport. This plane looked normal and to be of a normal flying altitude, but the object was originally watching had to be at least 2.5x greater.

At this point I noticed that the object came to a complete halt. My friend also watched too. I don’t think we have the technology to reach such high altitudes and hover there. From the time the “plane/star” started moving again, it took roughly 2-3 seconds for it to get back up to its original velocity. I saw it bust a 90 turn and descend. It made a series of complete stops to mad 5 second dashes with other 90turns mixed in. At this point I and the other witness were completely convinced this was more of a UFO than some governmental experimental aircraft. We watched for 35-40 minutes, and it was now completely dark.

I had only been focused on this one “star/ufo” thing and my friend commented that it looked like some of the other ones were moving too. So now I chose a few stars closer to the original one i had been watching so as not to lose it, and noticed that indeed they were. The other stars I focused on were considerably less dim and presumably further up in the sky. However they were also coming to these start/stop/mad dash type of movements as well. I’m starting to think this is an invasion. Snip Thanks to MUFON CMS

ALSIP – On August 30, 2008, my girlfriend and I saw this sphere two times while sitting on our deck tonight at about 6:45 pm. The second time we saw it I grabbed my camcorder and shot this video. You will see the UFO come into frame after you see the commercial airliner come into view. I followed it as long as I could before I lost it. The ufo took the same flight path as it did the 1st time.

We were looking straight south from our deck and the UFO is seen heading in a north-east direction and then seems to stop and climb out of our sight. This happened both times and there was no sound. We thought it could have been a dark colored balloon but, thought it was odd that we saw one and then another one 10 minute’s later taking the same flight path. There was little to no wind. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Indiana - UFO Changes Shape

Peru – I reported our first two sightings to you back in January. Since then we have had several other encounters but this one is the most extreme so I wanted to share it with you. On July 30, 2008, my daughter in law (Jessica) and I were going to the truck stop on Highway 31 at 9:30 PM. As soon as we left the house we saw what appeared to be a plane but brighter above Eel River Road, and noticed the light was not moving. Jessica was driving and I was in the back seat with my grandson. She slowed the vehicle down in order to get a better look at the object that was just above tree-line. The object then came closer to our vehicle (around 700 feet from us). Jessica stopped the vehicle and as she did the object also stopped.

Iowa - A Large Red Oval UFO Splits in Two

Lafayette – On August 19, 2008, at 10:25 PM, I saw a red object that at first was one a big red oval. It then split in two oval shaped pieces which were bright red in color. We first saw it when we were coming home from state center. We looked off to the side and we saw a big red oval shaped thing in the sky. We stopped and turned the car off to look at this object in the sky. We knew it wasn’t a plane, because planes don’t look like what we saw. It was incredible and the sighting lasted for about ten minutes, then got lower to the ground and got smaller. Then in a blink of an eye it was gone. Sighted by four eye witnesses names removed from this report. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

Massachusetts Cloud Fleet

REHOBETH – About 2:30 pm, on Sunday, August 17, 2008, two witnesses and I were at a cemetery holding a “ghost hunt” research with video cameras, cell phone, and digital cameras. I suggested we take a look upward and asked “What the heck is that?” Both witnesses with me saw what appeared to be row after row of same sized circles of “vapor” spaced equally in a shape that was a perfect rectangle, traveling overhead diagonally.

I started taking pictures fumbling over my camera options trying to set it on automatic to get still shots before they got too far away. I managed to get a few digital camera shots in. I switched my Kodak easy share 2710 digital camera to video and fumbled for few minutes while I tried to focus on them. I did notice that a second fleet seemed to come into view further off. I had trouble filming the target. These were not planes, clouds, blimps, or balloons.

They were all the same size, vapor circles, traveling all together in unison, after they went in a cloud (or above) they came out a little disorganized than their regular formation, but kept traveling and apparently there was another group that joined them. No trails were visible on each individual craft. The object kept traveling quietly into the distance. There was no noise whatsoever, except a plane approaching formation of the moving objects. I could not find the plane while video taping. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pennsylvania Cylinder above Blimp

Williamsport – On Monday, August 25, 2008 I was driving eastbound on Third Street when I took two pictures with my LG EnV2 2.0 mega pixel camera phone of the Goodyear blimp. After reviewing the pictures later that day I noticed an object on the second picture of a cigar shaped object above the Goodyear blimp.

The day was clear at 12:15 PM, I was driving 10-15 mph near the Rite Aid and noticed the Goodyear blimp off to my right and decided to take a picture of it since it was flying around Williamsport after the Little League World series games. A minute later the blimp was directly in front of me when I decided to take the second picture. I held the phone camera with both hands and braced both arms against the steering wheel to stabilize the picture and snapped it.

After returning from the trip, I reviewed the pictures taken and noticed an object to be cigar shaped above the blimp at a 1 o’clock position when the picture was zoomed in on the blimp. Thanks to MUFON CMS

SHARON – Our home is only 400 feet from the Ohio State line. My daughter and I were walking her dog in our yard on August 12, 2008, and she called my attention to a very bright disc above the clouds going southeast at a steady speed. We watched until it disappeared behind clouds. Prior to losing sight of it, we saw it go behind and emerge from a small cloud. The course always remained the same. There was no contrail, or navigation lights. The normal flight path for aircraft here is east and west. This was as bright as the moon on a clear night but the moon wasn’t visible. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

PHILADELPHIA – I took the ferry to cross the Delaware River from Penn’s Landing to Camden to go to the Sea Museum and I noticed something hovering over the bridge. I snapped only one picture about noon on August 8, 2008. It was too fast and it just disappeared as fast it appeared. I really don’t like to talk about this kind of thing, but please tell me is this a freakin UFO? Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon - A Triangular Craft

Salem – I witnessed an unexplained aircraft in flight while driving south on Liberty Road, shortly after crossing Salem Heights Road on August 12, 2008, at dusk. The object was in a perfect triangular shape with three white, flashing lights that almost flashed as quick as a strobe; flashing much too fast to be an airplane and there was no red or green lights visible to indicate it was an airplane. Near this location it is very rare to see an airplane from the airport and after viewing the meteor shower later that night, none of the airplanes could even compare to what I had seen earlier. Between these three flashing lights there was no visible craft that could be seen, just the flashing lights in their perfect triangle, even though it was right after sunset when there were still a few moments of light remaining which would have allowed me to identify a plane or helicopter.

Texas - Close Calls for Aircraft on Approach and Takeoff

Dallas Love Field – I witnessed one of the strangest things I have ever seen in the sky on August 21, 2008, at 11:50 Pm. I consider myself to be an experienced aircraft spotter having been involved with aviation for close to fifteen years. On the night in question, I was sitting on my back porch, it faces southeast, I sit out there at night sometimes and watch air traffic line up coming from the south with their landing lights fully on, flying north in direction. These are usually flights that are going to be landing into Dallas Love Field, in this instance there was what looked to be two aircraft in line probably about five to six miles in trail, the strange thing about it all, was the aircraft bringing up the rear was closing the distance way faster than it should have been, so I turned my attention to the lead aircraft or what I thought was an aircraft.

This was a very unusual light, I couldn’t tell at first but as it got closer I could tell this object was not an aircraft and they were not landing lights, it was the shape of an orb or sphere and orange in color, there is a navigational aid or VOR station that aircraft on this route use, its about three miles south of my home. Once an aircraft intercepts this station they turn northwest, the object in question seemed to stop in midair in the area of this turn point, it appeared the trailing aircraft had to make an early turn to avoid the object, once the trailing aircraft was parallel with object, the object just disappeared right in front of my eyes. I’ve seen some strange things in skies over the years that I can’t explain, but this one tops them all. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Houston, International Airport – Shortly after takeoff on Runway 150 Left heading south on May 26, 2008, around 10:30 AM, Continental Airlines Passenger Jet (Flight Number 1544 - Boeing 737) saw what appeared to be a rocket at his “12 o’clock position” traveling straight up leaving a contrail. The jet was en-route to Cleveland, Ohio. Apparently the FBI has concluded that the rocket was a model rocket. However, interviews with model “rocketeers” have not supported this conclusion. The location is “out-of-range” of most hobbyist-level model rockets. Apparently the pilot made no maneuvers to avoid collision with the object. According to the second tape below the FAA treated this incident as a “man-pad” event or “man- portable” air defense and refers to the firing of a hand held (shoulder) fired missile (e.g. Stinger missile).

- Listen to Radio Communication of Airline Reporting Incident to FAA (MP3)

- Listen to FAA Supervisor Discussing Incident (MP3)

Comments: More information is being acquired from the FAA through FOIA (Freedom of Information Act). The identity of this object was never determined. The investigation by the FAA and FBI concluded that the object was a model rocket. However, in the tape above the FAA treated the incident as an act of terrorism. A FOIA filed with the FBI produced a response that “no records were found in responsive to your request.” This response was received despite the fact that the FBI publically originally said that the object was a model rocket. (See later statement by FBI below.) Why the deception? Updates to this case will be posted.

An article about the incident appeared in the July 3, 2008 online issue of rocketyplanet.com (http://www.rocketryplanet.com). To quote from the article: “FBI spokeswoman Shauna Dunlap, who said her agency routinely looks into suspicious activity involving aircraft, said agents have not yet indentified what the pilot saw out there.”

Houston – On August 24, 2008, at 9:20 PM, there was an object with a round shape and luminous moving south. It seemed the craft was 500 yards high travelling at a fast speed with no sound. Then stopped and changed towards a different direction behind the clouds. I live just 5 miles from NASA. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

Utah - Colored Objects Changing Shapes

Bountiful — We are located about 20 miles south of Hill Air Force Base from about 9:15 PM to 10:00 Pm, on August 23, 2008,was the period of greatest activity. However, we regularly spot anywhere from two to ten of these flying shapes - no two seem to be identical. They move at a pretty good speed, cross the horizon in ten seconds or so with no noise association nor any other visible colored lights such as what the FAA would require. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

Washington Disc UFO on Road

Olympia – The witness did not report the sighting until several years after it happened. At 71 he felt compelled to tell someone about his experience. He read about UFOs Northwest in a local newspaper and decided to file a report. The witness stated that he was going for a walk in a remote area that is about a 30 minute drive from his residence. He recalls having had a heart operation and wanted to go out for some exercise. He parked his car and started walking down a logging road area on logging road about 15 miles WSW of Olympia.

He continued to walk eastward on the road and upon rounding a bend he noticed a dull metallic disk machine partially blocking the road. He said at the time that he was relaxing and meditating while walking. The object remained motionless on the ground. He does not recall if the object was perched on a tripod. He continued to walk towards the object from about 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The object then ascended without making any sound or showing any visible propulsion. No disturbance of the surrounding area (dust, leaf movement) was noted as the object ascended. The object ascended vertically and may have tilted somewhat. It ascended vertically to the tree tops. At that point the witness heard something fall off the craft (dense material) and impact the wood of the trees. The witness did not see anything fall. The craft then made about a 20 to 30 degree ascent over the trees to the north and was quickly out of sight.

The witness did not see any beings in or out of the craft. He said that he was not abducted. The witness described the craft as dull metallic in color with windows. (See above sketch.) The object was between 50 and 100 feet in diameter and about 8 to 10 feet high. After the craft departed the witness suspended his walk and returned home. He was not scared, but wanted to leave the area immediately.

Comments: Two investigators visited the landing site and interviewed the witness. Nothing unusual was noted at the landing site. Radiation measurements were not above background and no magnetic anomalies were detected. GPS readings were taken at the site. The witness is highly educated and holds an advanced degree in biological sciences. He is retired and had a long successful career with the U.S. government. We found the witness to be quite intelligent and very credible. He does not believe that the craft was non-terrestrial and feels that the craft was probably U.S. military. He rarely reads UFO literature and does not have a special interest in the subject. Based on the witness report we have no doubt about the veracity of his experience. The identity of the object is unknown. We don’t feel that the object was U.S. military. Thanks to William Puckett UFOS Northwest http://ufosnw.com

Australia - Saucer Oval Shape

GLASSHOUSE MOUNTAINS – I was admiring the storm clouds over the Glasshouse Mountains as I waited for the bus, watching them drift. Early on I noticed one cloud which I thought ‘Hey, that’s a UFO shape!’ but figured it was a cloud. I continued to see it as I waited, the ‘cloud’ didn’t move at all even though the huge storm clouds were drifting along around it… I was amused, I took photos of it. The top of it was fluffy, like a cloud, like a topping over the smooth white saucer oval shape which was why I didn’t think anything more of it, but it was very very white where the clouds around it were all that dark grey stormy look.

The next part happened all at once. I saw an old fashioned plane enter the area, slowly, and quietly. It seemed to turn, so that it was narrow below the fluffy part… like an oval, like a () shape, then as the plane came closer it suddenly vanished… no sign of it whatsoever… leaving behind the fluffy cloud part that’d been on top. I was taking photos as I watched the old fashioned plane, and this cloud, (I can’t zoom in with this camera so it was impossible NOT to) so I have the series of photos… I will get them off the camera as soon as possible. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Sightings Continue High

Newcastle – On August 7, 2008, at 3:34 AM, I was not sleeping (I work at night from home) and I was not groggy, and looking for my cat. For some reason, I looked up into the sky and saw this object moving slowly northwards. I could not see any blinking lights and there wouldn’t have been any planes about at that time anyway, nor could I hear any sound. I noticed it was moving towards a very bright star. I opened the screen door for a better look and figured it was also moving quite slowly. Still not believing what I was seeing, I averted my eyes to call my cat and within 20 seconds or so, looked back up and it had completely disappeared. I stood there for another five minutes trying to figure out where it could have gone, but it was a clear night. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

MONTREAL — On August 22, 2008, the pictures I’m sending you ….I took them 3 second apart at same location and I noticed after downloading them in computer that you see a winged like plane, but problem is that a plane cannot go backward and you can see it in the picture img_0773 and after on the img_0774 its way above the chemtrails and there is a oval shape in the clouds. Thanks to MUFON CMS.

Newmarket, Ontario – I was out again for my bike ride on August 25, 2008, in the evening where I have seen weird light twice now. My entire ride was very uneventful, nothing unusual. As I approached my house, I again notice the strange bright light, but this did something different. I noticed the light to the northeast heading south, and only about 30 degrees above the horizon. The previous two sightings of this object were moving towards us and almost directly overhead. Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

Italy Fast Moving Object

Sardinia – We were on holiday in at a small agriturismo establishment called “Sa Spiga” four kilometers north of St. Caterina di Pittinuri on the road to Cuglieri. We had lunch and were admiring the view and taking photographs of the sea view due west. On going through the images once back from our holiday we discovered the anomaly on one of the photographs. We did not hear any unusual sounds or actually saw the object captured in the image; it looks as though it was moving very fast though. A further image taken within a minute of the first image does not show any signs of the object. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK /England - Square Shaped

Birmingham – A bright light was travelling fast, turning quickly and returning the way it had come from on August 10, 2008, at 11:55 PM. It was visible through a thin cloud cover and was blue/green chevron in shape, travelling very fast. Initially I thought it was a shooting star but it turned around and travelled back the way it had come.

Dorking, Surrey – On Saturday August 23, 2008, my husband and I were having a barbecue with a group of friends in our garden when one of our group happened to look upwards and noticed bright orange objects at 9:05 PM. They were orb shaped and travelling silently across the night sky. It was very dark at the time, but relatively clear and there was no wind at all.

We had no idea what they were, so I grabbed my video camera and captured some very interesting footage. When I zoomed in on them, the objects appeared flower shaped - a bright orange circular centre surrounded by smaller brighter orange circles (I’ve since extracted some intriguing stills from this footage).

I’ve trawled the internet for information and these do not look like either Chinese lanterns or fake ufo/weather balloons. We counted 20+ of them and they travelled (some in clusters, some separately) at a moderate pace and in a very controlled fashion across the night sky, only disappearing as they went past the high trees that surround our garden.

The 13 adults present were awe-struck, none of us had ever seen anything like this spectacle before, but the three children with us were really scared, fearing we were about to be invaded by aliens. The footage I took looks far more detailed than the videos I’ve seen so far.

Tynemouth – We were walking on Tynemouth north pier at 4:00 pm, (Saturday) August 23, when a square light appeared over South Shields moving slowly east and very bright. We took two pictures of it. The light was distinctly square shaped with a darker vertical band down the middle. It was bright square and moving fast, no noise. The two pictures were taken within 20 seconds of each other, just after the second picture the light square dimmed and then disappeared. We don’t know what this is but we definitely saw something. This was weird as it appeared and disappeared from nowhere.

Cambridge – A series of 20 or so pinky-orange points of light flew east, one after the after, along a path that was to the south of our position on August 3, 2008, from: 23:30-24:00. One had the sense that their flight path was slightly curved, coming in from the west or north-west but curving to their right to disappear slightly south of southeast.

Hinckley – I was at the pub with my boyfriend and his Dad at 9:00 PM, when suddenly we looked up at the sky and there were two orange glowing lights which seemed to be following each other on August 28, 2008. They were not very far apart and were moving just a bit slower than an airplane. Then we noticed that two more were a bit further behind the first two, the same in shape and appearance. We watched as they just seemed to fizzle out and disappear. The weekend before my boyfriend and I saw exactly the same thing but over Burbage Thanks to Brian Vike Director of HBCC UFO Research http://www.hbccUFO.org

SOUTHAMPTON – I first got into UFO’s through watching various footage and decided to purchase a camcorder. After of summer of trying out various filters and lenses, the latest addition, a 1000nm infrared filter combined with uv filter 0.45X wide angle lens tele-convertor 2.0X lens, I made my catch on August 23, 2008. I was in the garden generally filming the sky trying out various sun positions and filming techniques. After 30 minutes filming the sky, I decided to watch the footage and saw something rather special. After several viewings of the said footage, I felt a feeling of unease and a little unsettled because I was unsure whether the I was watching the object, or, the object was watching me!

I would estimate the object being no more than 50-80 feet above the roof-tops of the neighboring houses. The object appeared as a fairly round ball of light, with no hard edges, 6 to 10 feet in diameter. As you can see from the footage, it hovered for several seconds before accelerating at a very high speed upwards into the sky, before disappearing out of sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS
